USA Junior Motocross Team congratulated on 2011 FIM World MX Championships by American Motorcyclist Association

The AMA congratulates the Junior Motocross Team from the USA for its world title at the 2011 FIM Junior Motocross World Championships in Cingoli, Italy, on August 13 - 14. Teams from Great Britain and Italy finished second and third.

In addition to the team title, USA racer Joey Savatgy earned the individual world MX championship in the 125cc class at the event.

Savatgy, who is supported by Rockstar Energy Suzuki, was joined on the team by Yamaha amateur support rider Chris Alldredge from Powell Butte, OR, in the 125cc class, Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green riders Mark Worth from Queen Creek, AZ, and Chase Bell from Cairo, GA, in the 85cc class, and Gabriel Jairala from San Antonio, Texas, and Derek Drake from San Luis Obispo, CA, competing in the 65cc class on KTM 65s.

Other U.S. riders were Rockstar Suzuki Josh Mosiman from Sebastopol, CA, and Red Bull/Yamaha sponsored Matt Bisceglia from Weatherford, Texas, both in the 125cc class. In the 85cc class were Rockstar Suzuki rider Michael Mosiman from Sebastopol, CA, and Suzuki rider Tyler Rosa from Perris, CA.

The title race went down to the closing moments of the final 125cc moto, which Savatgy won despite suffering a flat tire with four laps to go.
